TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a channel interleaving method and apparatus.

BACKGROUND

Rapid evolution of wireless communications indicates that a future communications system is to present some new features. Three most typical communication scenarios include enhanced mobile broadband (English full name: enhanced mobile broadband, eMBB for short), massive machine type communication (English full name: Massive Machine Type Communication, mMTC for short), and ultra-reliable and low latency communications (English full name: Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communication, URLLC for short). Requirements of the communication scenarios are to propose a new challenge to an existing LTE technology. Channel encoding, as a most basic radio access technology, is one of important research objects meeting a communication requirement. Currently, a polar (Polar) code is a known channel encoding method that can be strictly proved to “achieve” a channel capacity. The polar code has a great prospect for development and application in the future communications system.

In higher order modulation and a fading (fading) channel, an interleaving operation is performed after polar code encoding is performed at a transmit end, and a deinterleaving operation needs to be performed at a receive end. Interleaving achieves an effect of disturbing an original data sequence and implementing data randomization. Through interleaving and deinterleaving, discretization of a burst error is implemented, so that the burst error is within an error correction range of an error correction encoder, and impact of a burst error of data is reduced, to improve a channel error correction capability, and further improve anti-interference performance. Therefore, during polar code encoding, an interleaving method needs to be provided, to ensure data randomization.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

The following further describes specific embodiments of the present invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a wireless communications system to which various embodiments are applicable. The wireless communications system may include at least one network device. The network device communicates with one or more terminals. The network device may be a base station, or may be a device integrated by a base station and a base station controller, or may be another device having a similar communication function.

It should be noted that the wireless communications system mentioned in various embodiments includes, but is not limited to: a narrowband Internet of things system (English: Narrow Band-Internet of Things, NB-IoT for short), a global system for mobile communications (English: Global System for Mobile Communications, GSM for short), an enhanced data rates for GSM evolution system (English: Enhanced Data rate for GSM Evolution, EDGE for short), a wideband code division multiple access system (English: Wideband Code Division Multiple Access, WCDMA for short), a code division multiple access 2000 system (English: Code Division Multiple Access, CDMA2000 for short), a time division-synchronous code division multiple access system (English: Time Division-Synchronization Code Division Multiple Access, TD-SCDMA for short), a long term evolution system (English: Long Term Evolution, LTE for short), three major application scenarios, namely, eMBB, URLLC, and eMTC, of a next generation 5G mobile communications system, or a new communications system that emerges in the future.

The terminal in various embodiments may include various handheld devices, vehicle-mounted devices, wearable devices, or computing devices that have a wireless communication function, or another processing device connected to a wireless modem. The terminal may be an MS (English: Mobile Station), a subscriber unit (English: subscriber unit), a cellular phone (English: cellular phone), a smartphone (English: smartphone), a wireless data card, a personal digital assistant (English: Personal Digital Assistant, PDA for short) computer, a tablet computer, a wireless modem (English: modem), a handset (English: handset), a laptop computer (English: laptop computer), a machine type communication (English: Machine Type Communication, MTC for short) terminal, or the like.

The network device and the terminal in FIG. 1 communicate with each other by using a wireless technology. When the network device sends a signal, the network device is a transmit end; and when the network device receives a signal, the network device is a receive end. Similarly, when the terminal sends a signal, the terminal is a transmit end; and when the terminal receives a signal, the terminal is a receive end. FIG. 2 shows a basic procedure of communication by using a wireless technology. A source at a transmit end successively performs source encoding, channel encoding, rate matching, and modulation for sending a signal on a channel. At a receive end, a destination successively performs demodulation, rate de-matching, channel decoding, and source decoding for receiving a signal. At the transmit end, during rate matching, or after rate matching, an interleaving operation may be performed. A channel interleaving operation is performed after a puncturing, shortening (shorten), or repetition operation is performed on bits on which polar code encoding is performed. In other words, the interleaving operation may be performed by a submodule (after the puncturing, shortening (shorten), or repetition operation is performed on the bits on which polar code encoding is performed) in a rate matching module. Alternatively, a channel interleaving operation is performed on bits on which polar code encoding and rate matching are performed. In other words, the interleaving operation is performed in a separate module after a rate matching module. At the receive end, a deinterleaving operation is performed on demodulated bits. Correspondingly, the deinterleaving operation may be performed in a submodule in a rate dematching module, or may be performed in a separate module independent of a rate matching module.

An interleaving process usually includes the following steps: determining a matrix used for interleaving; writing to-be-interleaved bits into the matrix; and reading interleaved bits from the matrix into which the to-be-interleaved bits are written.

An example matrix used in various embodiments is an M__(c)*M__(r) matrix. The matrix has M__(c) columns, and the matrix has M__(r) rows. If column sequence numbers start from 0, the column sequence numbers of the matrix are represented by: [0, 1, . . . , i_(c), . . . , M__(c)−1], where 0≤i_(c)≤M__(c)−1. If row sequence numbers start from 0, the row sequence numbers of the matrix are represented by: [0, 1, . . . , i_(r), M__(r)−1], where 0≤i_(r)≤M__(r)−1. Xi_(r)i_(c) represents an element corresponding to a location at an i_(r) ^(th) row and an i_(c) ^(th) column in the matrix, as shown in FIG. 3.

In some embodiments, the row quantity M__(r) and the column quantity M__(c) of the matrix used for interleaving may be different. A quantity of to-be-interleaved bits and/or an interleaving depth, and a corresponding row quantity or column quantity may be preset. Quantities of to-be-interleaved bits (which may also be referred to as lengths of an interleaver) in different application scenarios may also be different. The quantities of to-be-interleaved bits may be determined based on the application scenarios, for example, preset column quantities M__(c) shown in Table 1, (where usually, the interleaving depth refers to a smallest value of a distance that is after interleaving and that is between symbols that are neighboring before interleaving).

TABLE 1 Interleaving Column quantity M _(—) _(c) Length of an depth (or row quantity M _(—) _(r)) interleaver 28 16 100 56 32 200 86  7 300 112 64 400 128 16 or 32 or 64 or 125 or 128 or 250 or 500 256 20 16 72 40 29 or 32 144 80 64 288 160 128  576 544 113  1920 64 15 or 30 or 32 or 60 or 64 or 120 or 128 240 128 15 or 30 or 32 or 60 or 64 or 120 or 128 480 or 240 or 256 256 15 or 30 or 32 or 60 or 64 or 120 or 128 960 or 240 or 256 or 480 or 512

The second column in Table 1 may also show row quantities M__(r). In some embodiments, Table 1 may include only the second column and the third column. In some embodiments, Table 1 may include only two columns therein. In some embodiments, Table 1 may include only one or more rows therein. In some embodiments, Table 1 may include only one or more rows therein and include only two columns therein. The values in Table 1 are only an example, or may alternatively be other values.

The column quantity of the matrix used for interleaving may be obtained by looking up Table 1. Then, the row quantity may be determined based on a formula M__(r)=ceil(M/M__(c)). M is the bit quantity of the to-be-interleaved bits (or an interleaving length).

If the second column in Table 1 shows the row quantities M__(r), the row quantity of the matrix used for interleaving may be obtained by looking up Table 1. Then, the column quantity may be determined based on a formula M__(c)=ceil(M/M__(r)). M is the bit quantity of the to-be-interleaved bits (or the interleaving length).

In addition to obtaining, by using Table 1, the column quantity of the matrix used for interleaving, the column quantity or the row quantity of the matrix used for interleaving may be determined by setting the column quantity or the row quantity of the matrix used for interleaving to a prime number. In addition, there are other manners of determining the column quantity (or the row quantity) of the matrix used for interleaving, for example, the row quantity or the column quantity is selected as a prime number. This is not limited herein.

To increase interleaving randomization, an interleaving operation may be performed based on permutation patterns of the column sequence numbers and/or permutation patterns of the row sequence numbers. The interleaving operation may include: writing, in an order of the permutation patterns of the column sequence numbers and/or the permutation patterns of the row sequence numbers, the to-be-interleaved bits into the matrix used for interleaving, or permutating, based on the permutation patterns of the column sequence numbers and/or the permutation patterns of the row sequence numbers, the matrix into which the to-be-interleaved bits are written, or reading, in an order of the permutation patterns of the column sequence numbers and/or the permutation patterns of the row sequence numbers, interleaved bits from the matrix into which the to-be-interleaved bits are written.

The permutation patterns of the column sequence numbers are represented by: [P_(c)(0), P_(c)(1) . . . , P_(c)(i_(c)), . . . , P_(c)(M__(c)−1)], where P_(c)(i_(c)) is obtained by performing pruned bit reverse (PBR, pruned bit reverse)-based mapping on the column sequence number i_(c).

The permutation patterns of the row sequence numbers are represented by: [P_(r)(0), P_(r)(1) . . . , P_(r)(i_(r)), . . . , P_(r)(M__(r)−1)], where P_(r)(i_(r)) is obtained by performing pruned bit reverse (PBR, pruned bit reverse)-based mapping on the row sequence number i_(r).

There are the following two manners of determining the permutation patterns of the column sequence numbers and/or the permutation patterns of the row sequence numbers.

(1) The permutation patterns of the column sequence numbers are preset and/or the permutation patterns of the row sequence numbers are preset.

The permutation patterns of the column sequence numbers and/or the permutation patterns of the row sequence numbers are determined based on the preset permutation patterns of the column sequence numbers and/or the preset permutation patterns of the row sequence numbers.

(2) The permutation patterns of the column sequence numbers and/or the permutation patterns of the row sequence numbers are determined according to a preset rule.

The permutation patterns of the column sequence numbers are used as an example below to describe the methods for determining the permutation patterns. For methods for determining the permutation patterns of the row sequence numbers, refer to the methods for determining the permutation patterns of the column sequence numbers. For example, the column quantity is replaced with the row quantity, and the column sequence numbers are correspondingly replaced with the row sequence numbers. The methods for determining the permutation patterns of the row sequence numbers are not described herein again.

(1) The Preset Permutation Patterns of the Column Sequence Numbers

The permutation patterns of the column sequence numbers are determined based on the preset permutation patterns of the column sequence numbers. For example, Table 2 shows the preset permutation patterns of the column sequence numbers.

TABLE 2 Column Permutation patterns of column sequence numbers quantity M _(—) _(c) [P_(c)(0), P_(c)(1), . . . , P_(c)(i_(c)), . . . , P_(c)(M_(—) _(c) − 1)] 3 [0, 2, 1] 4 [0, 2, 1, 3] 5 [0, 4, 2, 1, 3] 7 [0, 4, 2, 6, 1, 5, 3] 8 [0, 4, 2, 6, 1, 5, 3, 7] 9 [0, 8, 4, 2, 6, 1, 5, 3, 7] 11 [0, 8, 4, 2, 10, 6, 1, 9, 5, 3, 7] 13 [0, 8, 4, 12, 2, 10, 6, 1, 9, 5, 3, 11, 7] 15 [0, 8, 4, 12, 2, 10, 6, 14, 1, 9, 5, 13, 3, 11, 7] 16 [0, 8, 4, 12, 2, 10, 6, 14, 1, 9, 5, 13, 3, 11, 7, 15] 32 [0, 16, 8, 24, 4, 20, 12, 28, 2, 18, 10, 26, 6, 22, 14, 30, 1, 17, 9, 25, 5, 21, 13, 29, 3, 19, 11, 27, 7, 23, 15, 31]

The first column in Table 2 shows the column quantities M__(c), and the second column shows the corresponding permutation patterns of the column sequence numbers. The first column in Table 2 may alternatively show the row quantities M__(r), and the corresponding second column shows the corresponding permutation patterns of the column sequence numbers. In some embodiments, Table 2 alternatively includes only one or more rows of values therein. The values in Table 2 are only an example, or may alternatively be other values.

In some embodiments, P_(c)(i_(c)) in the preset permutation patterns of the column sequence numbers is obtained by performing pruned bit reverse (PBR, prune bit reverse)-based mapping on the column sequence number i_(c). For example, P_(c)(i_(c)) is obtained by performing pruned bit reverse (PBR, Pruned Bit Reverse)-based mapping with a cyclic shift on the column sequence number i_(c). In other words, P_(c)(i_(c)) is a value of PBR(i_(c), M__(c)).

For specific meaning of the PBR-based mapping, refer to the following content.

(2) The permutation patterns of the column sequence numbers are determined according to the preset rule.

The column sequence numbers of the matrix are permutated or the permutation patterns of the column sequence number are determined based on pruned bit reverse (PBR, pruned bit reverse)-based mapping. A value of PBR(i_(c), M__(c)) is represented by P_(c)(i_(c)), and a value of PBR(i_(r), M__(r)) is represented by P_(r)(i_(r)), where PBR(i, M_) includes PBR(i_(c), M__(c)) or PBR(i_(r), M__(r)); P(i) includes P_(c)(i_(c)) or P_(r)(i_(r)); and M_ includes M__(c) or M__(r).

A specific implementation process of the PBR-based mapping may be expressed by Algorithm 1 below:

(1) determining a parameter n of PBR, where n=ceil(log₂(M_));

(2) initialization: i=0, and j=0;

(3) defining x as a decimal digit corresponding to a binary digit obtained through reverse of a binary digit represented by n bits of j;

(4) if x<M_,

P(i)=x; and

i=i+1;

(5) j=j+1; and

(6) if (i<M_), performing step (3).

That M_=5 is used as an example below for description:

(1) determining n=ceil(log₂5)=3;

(2) initialization: i=0, and j=0;

(3) defining x as a decimal digit corresponding to a binary digit obtained through reverse of a binary digit represented by three bits of j, where values of x are shown in Table 3;

TABLE 3 Binary digit obtained Binary digit through reverse of the represented by binary digit represented j three bits of j by the three bits of j x 0 000 000 0 1 001 100 4 2 10 10 2 3 11 110 6 4 100 001 1 5 101 101 5 6 110 11 3 7 111 111 7

(4) when x=0, x<3,

P(0)=0;

i=0+1; and

(5) j=0+1; and

(6) if i_(c)=l<M_,

performing step (4)

. . . .

Based on the foregoing calculation process, values of P_(c)(i_(c)) and is are shown in Table 4.

TABLE 4 Binary digit obtained Binary digit through reverse of the represented by binary digit represented j three bits of j by the three bits of j x i_(c) P(i) 0 000 000 0 0 0 1 001 100 4 1 4 2 10 10 2 2 2 3 11 110 6 4 100 001 1 3 1 5 101 101 5 6 110 11 3 4 3 7 111 111 7

In some embodiments, the specific implementation process of the PBR-based mapping may alternatively be expressed by Algorithm 2 below:

(1) if M_ is not an integer power of 2, using Algorithm 1; or

(2) if M_ is an integer power of 2, in other words, M_=2^(n), simplifying PBR(i, M_) as bit reverse (Bit Reverse)-based mapping, where the simplifying specifically includes: (1) representing i by a binary digit represented by n bits; (2) reversing the binary digit to obtain a reversed binary digit; and (3) converting the reversed binary digit into a decimal digit, where the decimal digit is P(i).

In some embodiments, the specific implementation process of the PBR-based mapping may alternatively be expressed by Algorithm 3 below:

(1) determining a parameter n of PBR, where n=ceil(log₂(M_));

(2) determining a decimal digit corresponding to a binary digit obtained through reverse of a binary digit represented by n bits of each element in [0, 1, . . . , 2^(n)], to obtain a sequence [a₀, a₁, . . . , a₂ _(n) ]; and

(3) removing (which may also be referred to as pruning) an element whose value is greater than or equal to M_ in [a₀, a₁, . . . , a₂ _(n) ], to obtain a sequence [P(0), . . . , P(M_)].

In some embodiments, the specific implementation process of the PBR-based mapping may alternatively be expressed by Algorithm 4 below:

From a perspective of a PBR generation rule above, for different column quantities (or row quantities), a PBR-based mapping sequence has a nest (nest) feature. In other words, a PBR permutation sequence with smaller M_ is a subset of a PBR permutation sequence with larger M_. During actual application, after determining the column quantity (or the row quantity) of the to-be-interleaved matrix,

(1) a maximum value M_Max of a column quantity of each to-be-interleaved matrix is selected, and a maximum value of a parameter n_(max) of PBR is determined, where n_(max)=ceil(log₂(M_Max));

(2) a decimal digit corresponding to a binary digit obtained through reverse of a binary digit represented by n_(max) bits of each element in [0, 1, . . . , 2^(n) ^(max) ] is generated or pre-stored (generated), to obtain a sequence [a₀, a₁, . . . , a₂ _(n) _(max) ]; and

(3) an element whose value is greater than or equal to M_ in [a₀, a₁, . . . , a₂ _(n) _(max) ] is removed, to obtain an M_-column sequence [P(0), . . . , P(M_)].

In some embodiments, the specific implementation process of the PBR-based mapping may alternatively be expressed by Algorithm 5 below:

mapping obtained by performing pruned bit reverse (PBR, Pruned Bit Reverse)-based mapping with a cyclic shift, for example, obtaining the permutation patterns of the column sequence numbers by PBR permutation of M_ bits with a cyclic shift by t1, where

P(i)=PBR(mod(i+t1,M_),M_), where i=0,1,2, . . . , or M_−1.

For M_=7, when the cyclic shift t1=3, the permutation patterns of the column sequence numbers are [6, 1, 5, 3, 0, 4, 2]. Cyclic shifts t1 and t2 may be selected based on performance, and are not limited herein.

An interleaving operation is performed based on the permutation patterns of the column sequence numbers and/or the permutation patterns of the row sequence numbers, to increase interleaving randomization.

Based on the foregoing description, the implementation of the present invention is further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

An embodiment of this application provides an interleaving method of a polar code. The method may be applied to a communications device at a receive end, for example, a network device or a terminal. In the interleaving method in this embodiment, the foregoing matrix is used. For information related to the matrix, refer to the foregoing description. Description of the information is not repeated herein again.

An M__(c)*M__(r) matrix used for interleaving is determined. The matrix includes M__(c) columns, and the matrix includes M__(r) rows. The determining a matrix includes: determining the column quantity M__(c) and the row quantity M__(r). For a method for determining the matrix, refer to the foregoing description. The method for determining the matrix is not repeated herein. To-be-interleaved bits are written into the matrix.

For example, the interleaved bits are read from the matrix in columns, in rows, or in a diagonal or spiral manner.

Embodiment 1

Embodiment 1 provides an interleaving method of a polar code. The method may be applied to a communications device at a receive end, for example, a network device or a terminal. In the interleaving method in this embodiment, to-be-interleaved bits are written, in an order of permutation patterns of column sequence numbers and/or permutation patterns of row sequence numbers, into a matrix used for interleaving. For information related to the matrix in this embodiment, the permutation patterns of the column sequence numbers, and the permutation patterns of the row sequence numbers, refer to the foregoing description. Description of the information is not repeated herein again.

With reference to FIG. 4, Embodiment 1 is described below.

Step 401: Determine an M__(c)*M__(r) matrix used for interleaving, where the matrix includes M__(c) columns, and the matrix includes M__(r) rows.

The determining a matrix includes: determining the column quantity M__(c) and the row quantity M__(r). For a method for determining the matrix, refer to the foregoing description. The method for determining the matrix is not repeated herein.

Step 403: Write to-be-interleaved bits into the matrix.

The to-be-interleaved bits may be bits on which polar code encoding and rate matching are performed. The to-be-interleaved bits may alternatively be bits obtained by performing a puncturing, shortening (shorten), or repetition operation on bits on which polar code encoding is performed. The to-be-interleaved bits may alternatively be bits obtained from a circular buffer (circular buffer). The to-be-interleaved bits may be represented by: [m₀, m₁, . . . , m_(k), . . . , m_(M-1)]. K=0, 1, . . . , or M−1. M is a bit quantity of the to-be-interleaved bits (or an interleaving length). M is greater than 0.

If the bit quantity M of the to-be-interleaved bits (a length of an interleaver) is less than a product of the row quantity and the column quantity of the matrix, D null (Null) bits may be filled in front of or behind the to-be-interleaved bits, where M+D=M__(c)*M__(r), and D is greater than or equal to 0. If the null bits are filled in front of the to-be-interleaved bits, the null bits are represented by: [y₀, y₁, . . . , y_(D_1)]; and the to-be-interleaved bits may be expressed by: y_(D+k)=m_(k). If the null bits are filled behind the to-be-interleaved bits, the to-be-interleaved bits may be expressed by: y_(k)=m_(k), and the null bits are represented by: [y_(0+M), y_(1+M), . . . , y_(D−1+M)]; and bits [y₀, y₁, . . . , y_(D−1+M)] are written into the matrix.

The to-be-interleaved bits may be written into the matrix in rows or columns.

If the to-be-interleaved bits are written into the matrix in rows, the to-be-interleaved bits are written into the matrix in an order of [X11, X12, . . . , X1M__(c)−1, X21, X22, . . . , X2M__(c)−1, . . . , XM__(r)−11, XM__(r)−12, . . . , XM__(r)−1M__(c)−1].

If the to-be-interleaved bits are written into the matrix in columns, the to-be-interleaved bits are written into the matrix in an order of [X11, X21, . . . , XM__(r)−11, X12, X22, . . . , XM__(r)−12, X1M__(c)−1, X2M__(c)−1, . . . , XM__(r)−1M__(c)−1].

Step 405: Permutate, based on permutation patterns of column sequence numbers and/or permutation patterns of row sequence numbers, the matrix into which the to-be-interleaved bits are written.

For definitions of and a determining method for the permutation patterns of the column sequence numbers and the permutation patterns of the row sequence numbers, refer to the foregoing description. Description of the definitions and the determining method is not repeated herein again.

The permutating, based on permutation patterns of column sequence numbers and/or permutation patterns of row sequence numbers, the matrix into which the to-be-interleaved bits are written includes:

permutating, based on the permutation patterns of the column sequence numbers, the matrix into which the to-be-interleaved bits are written, where to be specific, a (P_(c)(i_(c)))^(th) column of a permutated matrix corresponds to an (i_(c))^(th) column of the matrix that is not permutated; or

permutating, based on the permutation patterns of the row sequence numbers, the matrix into which the to-be-interleaved bits are written, where to be specific, a (P_(r)(i_(r)))^(th) row of a permutated matrix corresponds to an (i_(r))^(th) column of the matrix that is not permutated; or

permutating, based on the permutation patterns of the column sequence numbers and the permutation patterns of the row sequence numbers, the matrix into which the to-be-interleaved bits are written, where to be specific, a (P_(c)(i_(c)))^(th) column of a permutated matrix corresponds to an (i_(c))^(th) column of the matrix that is not permutated; and a (P_(r)(i_(r)))^(th) row of a permutated matrix corresponds to an (i_(r))^(th) column of the matrix that is not permutated.

Step 407: Read interleaved bits from the permutated matrix.

If a null (Null) bit is filled before, the null bit needs to be removed, to obtain an encoded bit on which polar code encoding and interleaving are performed.

If the to-be-interleaved bits are written into the matrix in rows, the interleaved bits may be read in columns from the permutated matrix; or if the to-be-interleaved bits are written into the matrix in columns, the interleaved bits may be read in rows from the permutated matrix; or

the interleaved bits are read in a diagonal manner, as shown in FIG. 5; or the interleaved bits are read in a spiral manner, as shown in FIG. 6.

In the implementation of the present invention, the matrix into which the to-be-interleaved bits are written is permutated by using the permutation patterns of the column sequence numbers and/or the permutation patterns of the row sequence numbers, to increase interleaving randomization, and improve interleaving performance. In addition, implementation is simpler than random interleaving.

Step 705: Read interleaved bits from the matrix into which the to-be-interleaved bits are written.

The interleaved bits may be read from the matrix in rows, in columns, or in a diagonal or spiral manner.

In some embodiments, if the to-be-interleaved bits are written into the matrix based on the permutation patterns of the column sequence numbers, the interleaved bits are read, in an order of the permutation patterns of the row sequence numbers, from the matrix into which the to-be-interleaved bits are written; or

if the to-be-interleaved bits are written into the matrix based on the permutation patterns of the row sequence numbers, the interleaved bits are read, in an order of the permutation patterns of the column sequence numbers, from the matrix into which the to-be-interleaved bits are written.
